I have nothing to say, really.

Fuck off.

The Question Isn’t Where, but When

By Dominik Schwind

The one thing that makes Inspector Spacetime so much better than Doctor Who: One gets to enjoy the Fandom and the Memes without having to watch some weird British television show. TV Tropes, Cosplay, Shirts, Forum, Confessions. [via, via]

Dunning-Kruger Effect Meme

By Dominik Schwind

The Dunning-Kruger Effect sure is a powerful meme at the moment:

And that’s mostly because it’s such a nice passive-aggressive tool for people who think they’re more intelligent and better educated than most people and yet didn’t achieve anything.1

Haters Gonna Hate

Spring cleaning — 12 things the world should toss out

"Once an enjoyable thing becomes a meme, we stop enjoying the thing for its own sake, but consume and regurgitate our enjoyment of it as a symbol of hipness, as if to say: "I am aware of this thing's popularity — therefore I, too, exist!""

Fauler Stöckchen-Sack

By Dominik Schwind

Sebastian möchte, daß ich sein Blogstöckchen auffange und es weitertrage. Weil ich aber so unglaublich faul bin, weise ich einfach auf meine Antworten auf das gleiche Stöckchen von vor fast zwei Jahren hin. Die Regeln poste ich hier nocheinmal:

  • Mention the rules on your blog.
  • Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
  • Tag six other
  • Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they are tagged.1

Und ich gebe die Fragen weiter an: Teymur, Jan Manuel, Poolie, Henning, Franz und Matthias. Viel Spaß.

2 girls 1 cup

By Dominik Schwind

Bei Johl, eine Schul-/Uniarbeit dazu und Videos von Reaktionen auf 2 girls 1 cup. Ich wünsche eine frohe Adventszeit.

Mac-Addiction?

By Dominik Schwind

Oder doch lieber ungewollter Textlink-Werber? Der Code des “How Addicted to Apple Are You?”-Badges hatte wohl einen versteckten Werbetextlink. Ich gehe dann doch davon aus, daß das beim Cadaver-Test des gleichen Anbieters das selbe war.

Internet People

pondering my [...] options

By Dominik Schwind

Nur für den Fall, daß sich das zu einem Meme entwickelt: So wars. Vielleicht sollte ich schonmal vorsorglich T-Shirts drucken. Die Evolution des Ponderns: 1 2 3.
